In the name of Allah the Most Merciful the Most Beneficent

Five days ago the foreign occupiers – along with regime soldiers and spies – raided an area in Baghlan’s Dand Ghori district. The Mujahideen engaged the raiders, killing several soldiers. The raiders then called for airstrikes on the Mujahideen martyring five of them including the Islamic Emirate’s governor for Baghlan province – Maulawi Lal Muhammad Muhammadi. To Allah Almighty we belong and to Him we return.

Sacrifice and strife in the path of Islam is a main pillar of the Islamic Emirate’s path. We firmly believe and hold dear to the statement of Allah Almighty : ۞ فوَمَن يُقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلْ أَوْ يَغْلِبْ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا (Al Nisaa’ 74)

Translation: To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah – whether he is slain or gets victory – Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).

This statement of Allah Almighty shows us that a Mujahid gains no matter the outcome. Whether he is killed or emerges victorious, in both circumstances he will gain a great reward as promised by his Lord Almighty.

The martyrdom of our leaders has always surged our campaign even further. When our leaders are killed, Allah Almighty has replaced them with others who have dutifully held onto the ideals of our martyred leaders and striven even harder in their campaigns. Thus no matter how many of our leaders have been martyred our campaign has only emerged stronger and more victorious. Every passing day swells our ranks and brings us greater glory.

Therefore our enemies should not celebrate the martyrdom of our leaders for they themselves can see that such martyrdom only further unites our leaders and swells our ranks. Insha Allah.

We offer our deepest condolences to the families and friends of Maulawi Lal Muhammad and his other martyred compatriots. To the families, friends and the Mujahideen of Baghlan we offer our heart-felt condolences on this loss. We beseech Allah Almighty to grant their martyrs the highest of ranks and for their families, relatives and friends we ask for patience and a great reward from our Lord Almighty.
